Learning centres – let’s rock this curriculum!

Roll up your sleeves and let’s get busy! Learning centres accomplish great things for second-language acquisition and literacy!! Engage your students including multi-level classes with this approach that is low-prep and very high-engagement! We will explore innovation and technology as we design a very effective learning community for our second-language learners. Handouts provided and many hands-on classroom-ready activities will be shared! Please bring a device if possible. We will share ideas and strategies for building literacy and oral proficiency in the second-language classroom. Ideas shared will be highly motivating for our students and increase cultural awareness and competencies.

This workshop will cover the terms of the new protocols for the funding allocated to school districts specifically to support French programs within the framework of the Agreement between the Ministry of Education and the federal government. Participants will have the opportunity to find out about the content and objectives of the Agreement or gain further knowledge in this area, learn how the Agreement is implemented in school districts, and share ideas and innovative initiatives that can fall within the scope of this Agreement. Participants will also discuss the new protocols and ask questions that will be shared with the Department of French programs at the Ministry of Education to best respond to the needs of educators and administrators for the development of the next Federal French Funding guide.
